Embodiment Construction
[0019]The present invention is an infrared radiation sorting system that overcomes the flaws of currently available reflective infrared sorting systems. The infrared radiation sorting system, referred to as the system 10, includes an infrared radiation source 12, conveyor 14, infrared radiation sensing system 16, first processing system 18, second processing system 20, an ejection system 22, and a receiving station 24. Also disclosed herein is a method of using the system 10 to more efficiently sort materials according to composition.
[0020]Currently available material sorting systems that operate in the near infrared range (1.0-2.5 microns) and sense infrared radiation reflected off a material item (such as a plastic bottle) operate in a configuration where the sensing system is positioned over a conveyor 14 belt, as best seen in FIG. 1. In this configuration samples 28 on the conveyor 14 pass under the sensing system 16 where they are irradiated with infrared radiation 36 from an i...
